        How to read listings in the SYS.INI document

 In this document, settings in SYSTEM.INI are listed
 alphabetically within the sections that contain them. These
 sections appear in this document in the following order:

   [boot]
   [boot.description]
   [keyboard]
   [NonWindowsApp]
   [standard]
   [386Enh]

 The settings will not appear alphabetically in the
 SYSTEM.INI file. If you want to change a setting, you will
 have to search for the setting in the appropriate section.
 Many of the settings explained in this file are rarely
 needed and will not appear in your SYSTEM.INI file unless
 you add them yourself.

 The syntax, purpose, and recommended method for changing
 each setting appear in the following format:

 SettingName=<value-type>
   Default: This is Windows' built-in value for this setting.
   Purpose: This paragraph briefly describes the function of
            the setting.
   To change: This sentence states the recommended method
            for changing the value of this setting.

 The <value-type> indicates whether the value should be a
 number, a letter, a range of numbers, a Boolean value, or
 something else. If you want to enable a Boolean setting,
 you can enter: true, yes, on, or 1. If you want the Boolean
 setting to be disabled, you can enter: false, no, off, or 0.

 Many settings listed in this document do not normally appear
 in your SYSTEM.INI file. Most of these settings have a
 built-in default value that is present whether or not the
 setting appears in SYSTEM.INI.

 Setup assigns a value to each setting in the [boot] and
 [keyboard] sections, and to the Device setting and its
 synonyms in the [386Enh] section. These settings have no
 built-in default values. These settings must appear in
 SYSTEM.INI in order for Windows to function properly, so be
 careful not to delete them.
